Offering an Easy, Secure & Private Way to Pay

ATLANTA & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comercia Global Payments EP, S.L, a joint venture between U.S.-based Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), a leading worldwide provider of payment technology services, and CaixaBank, the leader in retail banking in Spain, announced today that it now brings its customers Apple Pay, which is transforming mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay that’s fast and convenient.

Using the new CaixaBank Pay app users can now add their Caixabank cards to Apple Wallet and seamlessly use Apple Pay for purchases at any contactless enabled retail location.

Security and privacy are at the core of Apple Pay. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code.

"With Apple Pay, we continue to focus on implementing and delivering technology enabled, software driven solutions that enhance the customer experience globally," said Joan Morlà Tomàs President of Comercia Global Payments. "Given the widespread mobile device adoption across Spain, extending our omnichannel acquiring services allows us to be at the forefront in delivering cutting-edge mobile payment solutions in Spain and across Europe."

Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by credit and debit cards. In stores, Apple Pay works with iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later, and Apple Watch.

Using Apple Pay is simple with Touch ID, or just double-click the side button and glance at your iPhone X to authenticate with Face ID. When paying for goods and services on the go, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6 and later, iPhone SE and Apple Watch.
